new install with 500 error

15 years 5 months ago #4247 by emeyer
I had sh404 installed and it worked not very well, sending things the wrong places and so on, so I disabled sh404, downloaded the advanced sef trial. It installed just fine, but I get nothing but 500 at front end. I can log on the back end fine, but there is no indication what could be wrong.

Do I need to uninstall sh404sef? Is just disabling it insufficient?

I am running a test installation in a subdirectory of http://localhost. I tried changing the apache homedir and .htaccess so there was no subdirectory, with same thing: admin interface ok, but no front end.

I tried disabling all components. Same result.

There's no log or indication I can find what I am doing wrong, except the 500. What to do?

oh, I should clarify the sh404 errors. Mostly it works fine actually, but in-page links for  categories in remository were not activating the corresponding menu items in Extended Menu. Much as I like Extended Menu's auto-expansion of categories and list-style menus, I have reached the point of thinking I should just enter all the menu items and aliases manually, for the amount of effort it takes to get the activation to work.

Also, I disabled mootools and other javascripts in the headers, but I thought that wouldn't make a difference here, because it's php.

The codebase is Joomla 1.5.10 on Apache2 and Php5.

Have you installed ionCube loader correctly? www.sakic.net/support/ioncube/
Test with the tester file.

Then it must be something wrong with the server, mod_rewrite support or something. Can't tell without looking on it and testing. If you install it on a server accessible from internet and it doesn't work contact me with the login info.

Well, I'm handicapped by the license restrictions to do that.

Are there different requirements for .htacccess? sh404sef and built joomlasef are working fine. Here is my htadccess on the localhost site:

Also, is it possible that sh404sef has created custom fields on some  shared database tables? I am thinking I could try a complete uninstall and fresh reinstallation. Please could I know exactly which database tables to drop from the database,
